StormCentre: Region Hit Hard By Latest Snow Storm


Residents of the South Shore are shoveling out their driveways after a large snowstorm hit the region over the weekend. The storm system knocked out power for thousands in parts of Queens, Lunenburg and Shelburne Counties. The outages forced emergency officials to open up comfort centres in Lockeport and on Cape Sable Island. Power was restored to most Nova Scotia Power customers last night after blizzard and storm surge warnings were finally lifted. Meanwhile, storm surges caused significant flooding in Liverpool and on Dock Street in Shelburne. There's still no word on damages to the historic waterfront.
